Top policemen and politicians apparently cooperated with small Chinese traders in money laundering to get money for bribes. The traders were selling cheap textile and other goods in markets such as Miletička and did not pay any taxes. They then deposited the cash in smaller amounts in banks and sent it to Asia, where they bought more goods. Journalists mapped transactions worth €116m. Corrupt cops and politicians took some of the money. Former police president Milan Lučanský and former head of tax authority FS’s Criminal unit Ľudovít Makó allegedly complained that they received bribes in €5 and €10 banknotes and that bribe bags weighed 20 kilos. The Chinese companies have left tax debts; FS has recently filed a €8m claim against Zolob. It probably won't be paid.
